AN IRATE GOVERNOR.
Iowa's Executive Scores the Rail-
road Commissions.


Special to the Gl ODE.
DES MONIES, Ia, April 9.-The board
of railway commissioners were entertained
to-day by arguments by Gov. Larrabee on
one hand and General Freight Agent
RIply, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
road, the latter defending as equitable and
reasonable the rate of S1.S0 per ton on coal
from Cleveland, Ia, to Council Bluffs. The
rate had formerly been 81. 10, while the rate
to Glenwood. thirty miles nearer, was so.
Gov. Larrabee discovered this discrepancy
in rates in examining the freight bills OH
coal hauled to the asylum for the feeble
minded at Glenwood, and asked an equaliz-
alton of rates. The Burlington road COM
piled by raising the Council Bluffs price to
$3.50. Thereupon complaint was made to
the railway commission, and claim for
So, 900 over-charged in freghts filed by the
governor. The case was heard to-day. Mr..
Riply in an argument of some length justi-
fed the rates as reasonable and much
lower than the coal rates in Illinois and
Missouri. He quoted the commissioners
annual reports to show. Gov. Larrabee
replied, prefacing his remarks by a vigor-
Gus criticism of the policy of the railway
commission. He charged that he had in
vain tried to pursuade them to raise the as
sesSment OF the roads for taxation; that in
every case where the interests of the cor
porationS were asSailed to the extent OF a
few dollars the roads had been protected
with the greatest alacrity. "Why don't
we hear OF these complaints?" asked one
of the commissioners. Because" replied
the irate executive, people have got tired
of the farce of obtaining justice before You.
They come to me and am burdened with
their complaints. pleading that they can
obtain neither consideration nor justice at
your hands. 1 have just interviewed 800
cOnvicts," said the governor, They are
just like these railroad managers; they all
tell the same story" Here Mr.. Ripley
asked if the governor had not recently
pardoned convict who had robbed his
(Ripley's) house. He replied that he had.

you congratulate yourself it is simply
bread they are devouring, and that you
have not fallen in as their prey by any

small fish called angel fish, of g beautiful
blue color, unlike any we ever have seen
before. We never have seen them in any

They did not appreciate the bread that we

EX-NIEMBBRS AND SENATOR'S.
Hon Guy NJ. Bryan, eX-Sreaker OF the
House, ana ex-senator TraylOr were in
the Senate chamber yesterday.
4 DELEGATION OF WORKINGMEN.
A delegation Ci Worklngmen from Gal
weston are here working III the interest Of
the amendment to the city charter. They
insist that there are many good reasons
TOR this amendment. Among the
most urgent are, that Galveston
is very much crippled now, and the
amendment will go far toward restoring
neT TO q more prosperous era, and that
it Will benefit the working class, of which
this delegation is representative, by Civ
ing employment TO more men and better
ing the condition of those already en-
plOyeG. 1t is believed that if this delega-
ti0n can make the proper showing before
the committee, the amendment to the
charter VIII be granted.
AN ELEPHANT.
The occupation tax ques'iO ion, relatively
speaking, IS an elephant, pQnderOuS and
uuwieldy, and the more the Legislature
tries to equalize and adjust its conditions
to keep it from beng oppressive, and st
the same time q medium for collecting
revenue, the more apparent it becomes to
a great number OF Representatives that it
is an unequal law, and if not urcOnstitu
tional in its legal sense, is practically 50
in its results.
The bill which passed the House was
not entirely satisfactory to even its sup
porters, who urged its passage more on
the ground Of necessity to meet the in
creased drafts upon the treasury rather
than the BUSINESS in the measure itself.
THE TAX RELIEF BILL.
Considerable talk is INDUCED ii around
the corridors and lOb0ies of the capitol
relative to the bill to extend the time for
the forced collection of taxes in the
drouth district. 1t is generally conceded,
except by few, that all
who were able to pay their
taxes without q sacrifice have already
done so to save the extra cost of forced
collection, and those relieved by this
proposed extension of time will be
largely of that class who are already be-
ing helped by the state and the benevolent
people who have so literally contributed
to their necessities.
